Got stuck in the snow yesterday driving home from Grenville's back-of-beyond bungalow. Had taken different "safer" route but lost bearings and had to use satnav. It took me down a B road which seemed fine initially but gradually got narrower, rougher, steeper and snowier. Should have turned back earlier of course but the snowtrap was just at the brow of the hill. Contents of 3 bags of cat litter I happened to have onboard were optimistically employed as grit. No joy. Thankfully a lengthy and slow reverse back down the country lane extricated me. Phew!
